[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had a surprise visit to the LA area this Christmas due to the blizzard here in Colorado. This pelican I saw hanging out on a Santa Barbara Pier the day after Christmas, waiting it seemed for someone near by to catch a fish. He seemed quite used to people, allowing a few to get quite close until it was chased off by a sea gull.

A bientôt,

Hi Amber,
You did a very clever use of the few objects that appear on the photo to make a wonderful compo. Everyhing is just on the right position. I feel a rather nostalgic mood of Winter on it.
TFS, Regards, José.

i was in santa barbara last sunday for the 62nd orchid show..it was gloomy just like what you captured here..nevertheless, i find the gloomy feel eye-soothing in this well composed upload. cheers from LA.

Hi Amber,
I love the mine field of bird scat that this Pelican seems to be looking at with quiet distain. I like the muted sea scape as the background.
Regards, Tom
